Chaplain's Tid Bit
​​
Stay Warm and Dry!
Greetings everybody,
​
It's been a very great month! It's been a bit of a soggy one fall hit hard, and the rain came down as it does in Washington. But we need all that rain to make a beautiful Evergreen State.
​
Biker Bingo was a blast as usual we had tons of fun. Glad to see all the smiling faces there and thanks to all the people who put in the effort to make it a success.
​
It seems unfathomable that it's only a few short weeks away from Thanksgiving. I'm praying over all of us and all of ours all the time to bring healing wholeness joy peace and love from the one who has the Abundant source of it. JESUS!
I pray that we're all surrounded with family and that each and every one of you know that you are greatly loved always!
​
If you have not given your life over to him yet don't hesitate, the time is short and there's no time to waste. Say those five fabulous words and change your life forever. "JESUS PLEASE SAVE ME NOW!"
​
Be good to people everywhere you go and Shine the Light of his love the world is in great need of it.
​
You are greatly loved my dear friends and family!
Call, text, or email me anytime.
​
Jesus loves you and so do I!

Motorcycle Riders Foundation
MRF PAC Gears Up to Support
Biker-Friendly Candidates
​
​​​
In just a little over a year, voters across the country will head to the polls for the 2026 midterm elections. While it may seem far off, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) and the MRF Political Action Committee (PAC) are already preparing for this critical election cycle.
The MRF PAC, while a separate entity from the MRF, is affiliated and plays a vital role in advancing the priorities of motorcyclists in Washington, D.C. Through donations from riders and supporters, the MRF PAC works to elect and support candidates, regardless of party, who stand up for the rights and freedoms of America’s motorcyclists.
As a bipartisan organization, the MRF PAC’s guiding principle is simple:
We support those who support motorcyclists
To ensure that candidates truly share our values, the MRF PAC has developed a candidate questionnaire used to screen individuals seeking elected office. This tool helps identify those who understand and are committed to issues important to the motorcycling community.
While the questionnaire includes ten key questions, here are a few examples of what candidates are asked to consider—each with a simple “Support” or “Oppose” checkbox:
Would you support or oppose legislation preserving the consumer’s ability to choose a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine?
Would you support or oppose autonomous vehicle legislation ensuring motorcycles are part of all testing and development procedures—and that manufacturers disclose how their vehicles detect motorcycles?
Would you support or oppose legislation to end the practice of profiling motorcyclists through better education and training of law enforcement agencies?
Would you support or oppose legislation guaranteeing states the right to determine their own motorcycle safety equipment requirements, without interference from Congress or federal agencies?
These questions help ensure that those who receive MRF PAC support are genuinely aligned with the interests of riders nationwide, whether it’s defending consumer choice, promoting safety through awareness, or protecting states’ rights to set their own standards.
As the 2026 elections approach, the MRF PAC will continue to identify, support, and promote candidates who respect motorcyclists and our way of life.
One by one, in every continent and culture, motorcyclists are deciding to Ride with the Leaders™.

Motorcycle Safety and Education Program
​
It is a pleasure to help new drivers to be aware of motorcycles on our roadways. I have been teaching Motorcycle Safety and Awareness in Lewis, Thurston, and Mason Counties for the past 3 years. I found it to be very rewarding and a great benefit to our community to spread the word of Motorcycle safety. In my opinion, Motorcycle safety cannot be taught enough in our high schools and driving schools and to all drivers, no matter what kind of vehicle or motorcycle they drive. I hope to keep teaching new drivers whenever and wherever I can. “REMEMBER” always look before you act. It may Save A Life of a Brother, Sister or maybe one of your own family. HEY, were out there!! This message came from a motorcycle rider near you!
Thank you,
